Ye be welcome to the fish, Kurt. Honestly, after 3 months at sea eating only the bounty of the sea, the thought of having to crack open some barnacle encrusted crustacean with me marlin spike just to find something edible is not as romantic as ye land lubbers think.

Now Clint, on the other hand, I like the cut of your jib, lad! Any time I can add to me AV booty without having to pay for itâ€¦ well, letâ€™s just say, it warms me blackened pirate heart.

A couple of me deck hands have thought that I should be changing me name. At first I thought I could use a name that would strike fear in the heart, like â€œDread Pirate Robertâ€. But I knew of a Dread Pirate Roberts who always looked at me strange, saying â€œAs ye wishâ€. Well, it would shiver me timbers, but not in a manly pirate sort of way. So Iâ€™ll not be takâ€™n such a name. Then I be thinking that being that I hold a letter of marque from me good Lady, that I should be called Rob the Privateer. It would be a more â€œpolitically correctâ€ name. Arrgh, but like that bilge rat Tom, Iâ€™ve been accused of many things, but being politically correct has never been one of â€˜em. So, Rob the Pirate I was and Rob the Pirate I shall stay!

So beware purveyors of AV treasure, Rob the Pirate is setting sail once again!!! (fade to â€œOh, better far to live and die …I am a pirate king!” from The Pirates of Penzance)
